Additional Notes
- When using this function, make sure not to query boxes that contains parts out of a map boundaries. Doing this will likely cause stuttering (even if few entities are around locally or globally), in the worst case a crash. Considering a map is contained in a (-16384, -16384, -16384),(16384, 16384, 16384) box, you should consider passing the arguments to a function similar to this one, especially if you're querying large boxes that are likely to be near the corner of a map at any time :
function ClampWorldVector(vec) vec.x = math.Clamp( vec.x , -16380, 16380 ) vec.y = math.Clamp( vec.y , -16380, 16380 ) vec.z = math.Clamp( vec.z , -16380, 16380 ) return vec end
- It does not seem to be able to return any world entities.
